I am new to this forum as well as the industry. I have taken up a project related to silo container unloading of soda ash. In the present process, we use Jumbo bags (1.25 Ton) which are lifted using an EOT crane and fed into a hopper which transfers it to a Macwaber Densevyor system and a 2.2 bar compressed air pumps it up to silo that are 32 m high. However, the process is quite labor intensive and a lot of risks are involved. Moreover, since our consumption is above 350 tons per day across 6 silos, it would be better if we could go for container unloading.
I came across Ehcolo CTT unloader, which is attached directly to the container that can be tilted on a truck. The only worry I have as of now is the feasibility of the process. They use a blower system attached to the rotary valve to push the material to the silo, but since in my case the silo height is >30 m, the pressure drop can be significant. Can I please get some guidance related to the pressure drop calculations and the air flow rate required for my particular process. I have attached the specifications of the silos.

I would highly appreciate that.
